      Pay attention to the crowd reaction and Porter's facial expression when Spence was announced the winner.

      Neither Shawn or the audience felt it was wrong

        It was fight of the year and I admit to being wrong about how good it would be.

          116-111 Spence to 114-113 Porter are all acceptable scores.
          This is about right.

            No, it was nip and tuck throughout with Porter managing to stay just ahead for the most part, but the 10-8 round for Spence in the 11th turned the tide and I thought he took the 12th as well. The two scores in his favour were more or less right, I thought. Porter does deserve a lot of credit though, Spence really struggled to handle him.

              Not even slightly. Errol landed more punches, was the majority of clean effective blows AND dropped Porter before getting the decision. The last 3 rounds Spence beat the crap out of Porter.

                A draw in my book, without the knockdown. Very close. Certainly no robbery.

                  Not even close. Every time a popular fighter (recently Loma, Fury, etc) has a tough opponent, fools here try pushing a narrative. Shawn fought his ass off, but Spence was constantly punishing him and landing cleaner shots.

                    Most boxing fans believe that Shawn won or it was at least a Draw at best. I personally, had Porter winning. To me, he landed the cleaner and eye catching punches along with the better combination punches as well.

                      Anyone who had Porter winning is biased or an idiot
